Joe DiMaggio

Joseph Paul "Joe" DiMaggio (/dmio/ or

/dmdio/; November 25, 1914 March 8, 1999),
born Giuseppe Paolo DiMaggio, nicknamed "Joltin'
Joe" and "The Yankee Clipper", was an American
Major League Baseball center elder who played his
entire 13-year career for the New York Yankees. He is
perhaps best known for his 56-game hitting streak (May
15 July 16, 1941), a record that still stands.[1]

DiMaggio was playing semi-pro ball when older brother

Vince DiMaggio, playing for the San Francisco Seals of
the Pacic Coast League (PCL), talked his manager into
letting DiMaggio ll in at shortstop. Joe DiMaggio made
his professional debut on October 1, 1932. From May 27
to July 25, 1933, he hit safely in 61 consecutive games, a

At the time of his retirement, he ranked fth in career
home runs (361) and sixth in career slugging percentage
(.579). He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in
1955, and was voted the sports greatest living player in a
poll taken during the baseball centennial year of 1969.[2]

In 1934, DiMaggio suered a career-threatening knee injury when he tore ligaments while stepping out of a jitney.
Scout Bill Essick of the New York Yankees, convinced
that the injury would heal, pestered his club to give him
another look. After DiMaggio passed a physical examination in November, the Yankees purchased his contract

1 Early life
DiMaggio was born on November 25, 1914 in Martinez,
California, the eighth of nine children born to Sicilian
immigrants Giuseppe (18721949) and Rosalia (Mercurio) DiMaggio (18781951). He was delivered by a
midwife identied on his birth certicate as Mrs. J. Pico.
He was named after his father; Paolo was in honor of
Giuseppes favorite saint, Saint Paul. The family moved
to nearby San Francisco when Joe was a year old.

2 Major league career

Giuseppe was a sherman, as were generations of DiMaggios before him. According to statements from Joes
brother Tom to biographer Maury Allen, Rosalias father
wrote to her with the advice that Giuseppe could earn a
better living in California than in their native Isola delle
Femmine, a northwestern Sicilian village in the province
of Palermo.
After being processed on Ellis Island, Giuseppe worked
his way across America, eventually settling near Rosalias
father in Pittsburg, California on the east side of the San
Francisco Bay Area. After four years, he earned enough
money to send to Italy for Rosalia and their daughter, who
was born after he had left for the United States.

statistics:
On February 7, 1949, DiMaggio signed a record contract worth $100,000 ($991,000 in current dollar terms)
($70,000 plus bonuses), and became the rst baseball
player to break $100,000 in earnings. By 1950, he
was ranked the second-best center elder by the Sporting
News, after Larry Doby.[10] After a poor 1951 season, a
scouting report by the Brooklyn Dodgers that was turned
over to the New York Giants and leaked to the press, and
various injuries, DiMaggio announced his retirement at
age 37 on December 11, 1951.[11] When remarking on his
retirement to the Sporting News on December 19, 1951,
he said:
I feel like I have reached the stage where I
can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates. I had a poor year,
but even if I had hit .350, this would have been
my last year. I was full of aches and pains and
it had become a chore for me to play. When
baseball is no longer fun, its no longer a game,
and so, I've played my last game.
Through May 2009, DiMaggio was tied with Mark McGwire for third place all-time in home runs over the rst two
calendar years in the major leagues (77), behind Phillies DiMaggio in 1951, his last year in baseball

hit a single home run over the fences at Yankee Stadium in that 45-degree graveyard. It
was just too far. Joe was plenty strong; he routinely hit balls in the 425-foot range. But that
just wasn't good enough in cavernous Yankee
Stadium. Like Ruth, he beneted from a few
easy homers each season due to the short foul
line distances. But he lost many more than he
gained by constantly hitting long y outs toward center eld. Whereas most sluggers perform better on their home elds, DiMaggio hit
only 41 percent of his career home runs in the
Bronx. He hit 148 homers at Yankee Stadium.
If he had hit the same exact pattern of batted balls with a typical modern stadium as his
home, he would have belted about 225 homers
during his home eld career.

Joe became eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1953

but he was not elected until 1955. The Hall of Fame rules
on the post-retirement induction waiting period had been
revised in the interim, extending the waiting period from
one to ve years, but DiMaggio and Ted Lyons were exempted from the rule. DiMaggio told Baseball Digest in
1963 that the Brooklyn Dodgers had oered him their
managerial job in 1953, but he turned it down. After being out of baseball since his retirement as a player, Joe
became the rst hitting instructor of the newly relocated
Oakland Athletics from 1968 to 1970.

Hitting streak

DiMaggio kisses his bat in 1941.

DiMaggios most famous achievement is his MLB record-

breaking 56-game hitting streak in 1941. The streak began on May 15, 1941, a couple of weeks before the death
of Lou Gehrig, when DiMaggio went one-for-four against
Chicago White Sox pitcher Eddie Smith.[16] Major newspapers began to write about DiMaggios streak early on,
but as he approached George Sisler's modern era record
of 41 games, it became a national phenomenon. Initially, DiMaggio showed little interest in breaking Sislers
record, saying I'm not thinking a whole lot about it... I'll
either break it or I won't.[17] As he approached Sislers
record, DiMaggio showed more interest, saying, At the
start I didn't think much about it... but naturally I'd like to
get the record since I am this close.[18] On June 29, 1941,
DiMaggio doubled in the rst game of a doubleheader
against the Washington Senators at Grith Stadium to tie
Sislers record, and then singled in the nightcap to extend
his streak to 42.[19][20]
A Yankee Stadium crowd of 52,832 fans watched
DiMaggio tie the all-time hitting streak record (44 games,
Wee Willie Keeler in 1897) on July 1.[21] The next day
against the Boston Red Sox, he homered into Yankee Stadiums left eld stands to extend his streak to 45, setting a new record. DiMaggio recorded 67 hits in 179
at-bats during the rst 45 games of his streak, while
Keeler recorded 88 hits in 201 at-bats.[22] DiMaggio continued hitting after breaking Keelers record, reaching 50
straight games on July 11 against the St. Louis Browns.[23]
On July 17 at Cleveland Stadium, DiMaggios streak was
nally snapped at 56 games, thanks in part to two backhand stops by Indians third baseman Ken Keltner.[24]
DiMaggio batted .408 during the streak, with 15 home
runs and 55 RBI.[25] The day after the streak ended,
DiMaggio started another streak that lasted 16 games.
The distinction of hitting safely in 72 of 73 games is also
a record.[26][27] The closest anyone has come to equaling
DiMaggio since 1941 is Pete Rose, who hit safely in 44
straight games in 1978.[28][29] During the streak, DiMaggio played in seven doubleheaders. The Yankees record
during the streak was 41132.
Some consider DiMaggios streak a uniquely outstanding and unbreakable record, and a statistical nearimpossibility.
Nobel Prize-winning physicist and
sabermetrician Edward Mills Purcell calculated that, to
have the likelihood of a hitting streak of 50 games occurring in the history of baseball up to the late 1980s be
greater than 50%, fty-two .350 lifetime hitters would
have to have existed instead of the actual three (Ty Cobb,
Rogers Hornsby, and Shoeless Joe Jackson). His Harvard
colleague Stephen Jay Gould, citing Purcells work, called
DiMaggios 56-game achievement the most extraordinary thing that ever happened in American sports.[30]
Samuel Arbesman and Steven Strogatz of Cornell University disagree; they conducted 10,000 computer simulations of Major League Baseball from 1871 to 2005,
42% of which produced streaks as long or longer, with
record streaks ranging from 39 to 109 games and typical
record streaks between 50 and 64 games.[31]

4 MARRIED LIFE

Wartime

DiMaggio enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces

on February 17, 1943, rising to the rank of sergeant.
He was stationed at Santa Ana, California, Hawaii, and
Atlantic City, New Jersey, as a physical education instructor. He was released on medical discharge in
September 1945, due to chronic stomach ulcers.[32] Other
than now being paid $21 a month, DiMaggios service
was as comfortable as a soldiers life could be. He spent
most of his career playing for baseball teams and in exhibition games against fellow Major Leaguers and minor
league players, and superiors gave him special privileges
due to his prewar fame. DiMaggio ate so well from an
athlete-only diet that he gained 10 pounds, and while in
Hawaii he and other players mostly tanned on the beach
and drank. Embarrassed by his lifestyle, DiMaggio demanded combat duty in 1943, but was turned down.[15]

Giuseppe and Rosalia DiMaggio were among the thousands of German, Japanese and Italian immigrants classied as enemy aliens by the government after Pearl
Harbor was bombed by Japan. They carried photo ID
booklets at all times, and were not allowed to travel outside a ve-mile radius from their home without a permit.
Giuseppe was barred from the San Francisco Bay, where
he had shed for decades, and his boat was seized. Rosalia became an American citizen in 1944, followed by
Giuseppe in 1945.[32]

In January 1937, DiMaggio met actress Dorothy Arnold

on the set of Manhattan Merry-Go-Round, in which he
had a minor role and she was an extra. They married at
San Franciscos St. Peter and Paul Church on November 19, 1939, as 20,000 well-wishers jammed the streets.
Their son, Joseph Paul DiMaggio III, was born at Doctors
Hospital on October 23, 1941.[33] The couple divorced in

Spoto claimed that DiMaggio was very close to marrying 1957 Miss America Marian McKnight, who won the
crown with a Marilyn Monroe act, but McKnight denied
it.[36] He was also linked to Liz Renay, Cleo Moore, Rita
Gam, Marlene Dietrich, and Gloria DeHaven during this
period, and to Elizabeth Ray and Morgan Fairchild years
later, but he never publicly conrmed any involvement
with any woman.
DiMaggio re-entered Monroes life as her marriage to
Arthur Miller was ending. On February 10, 1961, he secured her release from Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic.

In 1972, DiMaggio became a spokesman for The Bowery
Savings Bank. With the exception of a ve-year hiatus in
the 1980s, DiMaggio regularly made commercials for the
nancial institution until 1992.[41]

6 Death

According to Maury Allen's biography, DiMaggio was

alarmed at how Monroe had fallen in with people he felt
were detrimental to her well-being. Val Monette, owner
of a military post-exchange supply company, told Allen
that DiMaggio left his employ on August 1, 1962, because he had decided to ask Monroe to remarry him.
She was found dead in her Brentwood, Los Angeles, DiMaggios private mausoleum
home on August 5 after housekeeper Eunice Murray
telephoned Monroes psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson.
DiMaggios son had spoken to Monroe on the phone the
night of her death and claimed that she seemed ne.[37]
Her death was deemed a probable suicide by Coroner to
the Stars Thomas Noguchi, but has been the subject of
numerous conspiracy theories.
Devastated, DiMaggio claimed her body and arranged for
her funeral at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery, barring Hollywoods elite. He had a half-dozen red
roses delivered three times a week to her crypt for 20
years.[38] He refused to talk about her publicly or otherwise exploit their relationship. He never married again.
When he died in 1999, his last words were I'll nally get

Advertising

In the 1970s, DiMaggio became a spokesman for Mr.

Coee and would be the face of the electric, drip coee
makers for over 20 years. Vincent Marotta, the CEO of
North American Systems, which manufactured Mr. Coffee at the time, recruited DiMaggio for the advertising
campaign.[40] DiMaggios spots proved successful with
consumers. In a 2007 interview with the Columbus Dispatch, Marotta joked that millions of kids grew up thinking Joe DiMaggio was a famous appliance salesman.[40]
Despite his commercials for Mr. Coee, Joe DiMaggio rarely drank coee due to ulcers.[40] However, when
